00:00PKR Secretary-General Fuzia Saleh should have obtained the consensus of the party's allies in Pakatan Harapan
00:07before announcing that the coalition was joining the Sabah government, says a political analyst.
00:13Lee Kwok Teung of University Malaysia Sabah said Fuzia was entitled to do so on behalf of Sabah PKR,
00:21which won PH's only seat in the state election, Melalap.
00:24However, even then, he said PKR should have considered the views of the other PH components
00:31instead of rushing to the media to make the announcement.
00:35Earlier this week, DAP Secretary-General Lok Sufuk criticised Fuzia for unilaterally announcing
00:41that Gabongan Rakyat Sabah and PH had sufficient numbers to form the new Sabah government.
00:47Azmi Hassan of Academy Nusantara said,
00:50Lok's frustrations were driven by the party's belief that PH should have no place in the state government,
00:56having performed poorly in the state elections.
00:59However, he said the announcement was merely intended to affirm GRS Chairman Hajji Noor's right to form the new government,
01:07while signalling support from PH, which leads the federal government.
